Smartchoices Breast Nurse

I actually never used this cold, but I did warm it up and use it to help stimulate milk flow. It stays on well around the nipple though I usually used both on the same breast to keep the heat longer, otherwise it would cool down too quickly. I also used it as a warm compress around my baby's thigh when he had his shots and got a sore spot at the injection site. I know there are other brands of the same thing and I'm not sure whether they would be better, but this worked fine though I think maybe hot washcloths would have done just as well. It's too bad it was never available for free shipping; the shipping cost was high.

Found it kind of difficult to use

They feel nice for about 20 minutes and then they heat up to body temperature. I was hopeful for longer relief.

love these

Ordered this pre-birth, now having used it I would have to say it's most effective as a cooling aid after nursing (when engorgement came in). It didn't really help as a heating aid as you warm it in warm water so I found it more effective and relieving to use hot damp towels and keep this product cold in the fridge. It was handy to have it around but was not as good as I thought it would be.

pliable, but has uncomfortable plastic edges. I had to make a cloth casing for them, or they were unusable.

Does help after they have been in the freezer.

Used in early post natal days which was really helpful.

Works well could be bigger with softer edges. But a great product.

Apparently not recommended by midwives.

Put in the fridge once and split open along the seam. Would not recommend in the slightest.
